Title: Improvements relating to disconnecting boxes, distribution pillars and similar apparatus employed for making connections between electric cables
IPC: H02G3/18
Filed: 1938-01-18
Abstract: 509,768. Junction boxes. CALLENDER'S CABLE & CONSTRUCTION CO., Ltd., and GARNETT, C. V. H. Jan. 18, 1938, No. 1676. [Class 38 (i)] In a disconnecting box, distribution pillar or the like, cable cores are connected by means of cable contacts 9 to fuses or links 13, and contacts 17 engaging the fuses or links are each disposed between members 15 and 16 of two sets of busbars so that the connections between the cores can be varied by the insertion of plugs at suitable places between the contacts 17 and busbars 15 and/or 16. Each cable contact consists of an upwardly extending portion 9 and a horizontally extending portion 6 fitting in a groove in a transverse insulating bar 7. Boxes 19, of moulded insulating material, are carried by longitudinal insulating bars 11. Busbars 15 and 16 are arranged in two sets between the boxes 19 associated with cables A, C, Fig. 1, and those associated with cables B, D as shown in Figs. 2, 3. Each end of each busbar extends along the whole of one side of a box 19, Fig. 6. A contact 17 extends into each end of the box so that two separate contacts 17 are disposed between a pair of busbars 15, 16 in each box. Plugs 18 are inserted between the contacts 17 and the busbars 15, 16 to interconnect the cables. Fig 10. shows diagramatically two busbars associated with four cable cores. Plugs can be inserted at positions corresponding to 34 ... 41.

Title: Improvements relating to sound recording and reproducing means
IPC: G10K15/10
Filed: 1928-01-18
Abstract: 310,079. Aspden, R. L. Jan. 18, 1928. Simulating echo effect.-In electrical recording and reproducing apparatus of the kind in which stereophonic effects are produced by recording or reproducing identical sounds separated by a short time interval which may be varied as required, the time interval is produced by the introduction into one of the sound current circuits of a lag device comprising a rotating metal disc or a travelling metal band completing the circuit between adjustably spaced magnets forming parts of the circuit. Fig. 1 shows a recording device g actuated by identical sounds from microphones a, b one of which is connected through amplifier c directly with a coil e of the device and the other is connected through an amplifier d to excite a magnet l so as to magnetize a rotating metal disc i, which in its travel below another magnet m produces a current which is led to another coil f of the recording device. Residual magnetism on the disc is removed by a magnet n. In reproducing, a current from a gramophone pick-up or from a wireless receiver is passed through an amplifier and divided, one part passing direct to a loud speaker, and the other through a delay device similar to that shown at i, l, m, Fig. 1, which transmits a delayed current to a second loud speaker.

[Class 18] A cigarette case of synthetic resin, metal, cardboard, celluloid, &c., having means to remove and project a cigarette 16 is provided with a detent 6 to support the cigarette in the projected position. The case has a sliding lid 9 provided with a depending rigid or resilient tongue (not shown), which, when the lid is slid along, engages the cigarette 16 and projects it through an aperture 14, the cigarette being guided to the delivery aperture by a tongue 17. The detent 6 is formed out of a side wall of the body part of the case. The lid is flanged on three sides, the longitudinal flanges 21 being formed with grooves or ribs to slide on corresponding grooves or ribs on the adjacent sides of the case, and the flange 12 normally closing the aperture 14 but having an aperture through which the cigarette 16 can project, although when the lid is slid back the cigarette is lightly held by the edges 14, 15. Alternatively, the lid aperture can be so dimensioned that the lid can be completely closed with the cigarette 16 projecting therethrough. The tongue on the lid which projects the end cigarette may be cut out of the material. of the lid or a resiliently mounted pin to engage in the cigarette. The cigarettes may be pressed by coiled springs and a follower or by bow springs towards the delivery end of the case, and the body part of the latter may be of semi-cylindrical shape.

Title: Current impulse generator
IPC: H02K39/00
Filed: 1955-01-25
Abstract: 771,468. Permanent - magnet generators. ANTAR PETROLES DE L'ATLANTIQUE, [formerly RAFFINERIES FRANCAISES DE PETROLE DE L'ATLANTIQUE], REYMONENQ, G., and OUVRARD, P. Jan. 25, 1955 [Nov. 24, 1954], No. 2243/55. Class 35. A generator for producing a series of impulses of relatively adjustable phase comprises a series of stepped magnetic discs 8, 16, 17 excited by a permanent magnet 1 embraced by a pick-up coil 2, the impulses being produced by the rotation of magnetic elements 33, 34, 35 on a common carrier, the discs 16, 17 being rotatably adjustable on shafts 21, 25 to alter the phase of their impulses with respect to those produced by fixed disc 8. As shown in Fig. 4, the fixed calibration disc 8 has two large steps 12 and two small steps 13 and is surrounded by a uniform magnetic ring 7. Rotation of the element 33 thus produces two large impulses and two small opposite impulses per revolution for calibration purposes. As shown in Fig. 2, the adjustable discs have only two equal steps, and moreover, the outer magnetic rings 14, 15 are stepped so that rotation of the discs alters the air-gap and so alters the size of the impulses. Since no impulse is produced at step 241 in the wide gap, only one impulse per revolution is produced. A shunt 26 is provided and the permanent magnet 1 may be replaced by an electromagnet, or rings 6 and 7 may be permanet magnets. Specification 771,467, [Group XXXVIII], is referred to.

Abstract: 192,692. Bethenod, J. Feb. 2, 1922, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Signalling over power circuits.-The neutral wire of a three-phase or other power distribution system is utilized for signalling by earthing it at the transformer station through a reactance which does not interfere, with the passage of a discharge current at the frequency of the power system,- but affords a means of applying signalling currents of relatively high frequency to the neutral wire, which are received by relays at the substation. The reactance may comprise a coil withits ends connected to a high-frequency source. A capacity may be connected across the reactance coil, or across a coil coupled thereto, so asto form a rejector circuit for the high-frequency currents. The core of the coil should be such as to be saturated by an intense discharge of the' power current.

Bubble caps 160 are located over vapour risers in the well floor. Spaces 161 remaining between marginal walls and the column wall are closed preferably by sheet metal. The lowermost plate of a stack is mounted on a grid structure of bars arranged in triangles each supporting four wells on small plates welded to the bars at intervals the length of the side of a well, each plate thus supporting a corner of six wells. Succeeding bubble plates are spaced by telescoping cylindrical spacers 186, 187, at the well corners, vertical slots being provided in the lower cylinder so as to fit over the meeting walls of the wells. In assembling the first plate a spacer is adjusted in height by screwing in the upper cylinder the correct amount, the parts then being soldered and the top used as a reference surface for two additional spacers to provide a level support for the first well. A liquid distributer for a plate stack comprises an annular chamber divided by a partition 207 depending to within a short distance from the base ; liquid is fed tangentially into the outer annulus through an inlet 45 and is discharged through calibrated orifices 210 from the bottom of both inner and outer walls into tubes 50 each leading to the central pocket 155 of each well 150 of the top plate. A two-stage column for fractionating compressed air comprises superposed low and high pressure bubble plate sections with an intervening condenser section (see Group XXVIII).
